Even then photographers were grappling with the black and white over/under exposure.
I love the pith helmet with the feather! Can't be seen in public without the best decoration of the day.
If you did anything to preserve this photo, good job! If not, then it must have been stored very carefully.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
I'd put the garments in the 1880-1890 window. Beautiful copy job.

sorry if i don't comment on each of your pictures. to those of you who comment so often, i can't imagine how you get it done!

Hello you, sorry for the lack of comments I've been away for a few days and am back to 160 comments :-( I love old sepia photos like this, I didn't know you were old enough to have taken any? As for your ancestors, yes they stand out a mile - the four people in front are sitting on them aren't they. Mind you they really do look like they've got the hump ;-) Travel must have really been something then eh?

As said above, travelling to Egypt wasn't that easy as it is now. Amazing to see that your relatives (?) are fully dressed up for this photo.
Great post Jan, and keep the original on a safe place as it's a time-document.
Regards, Cornelius

So very great Jan. Did you scan the photo or take a photo of the photo? Love the matting. Such a great shot of your relatives. You are lucky to have this photo in your family.
